Sorry I've been out. Moving across the Pacific ocean last year has made my immune system utterly useless, it seems, and I keep getting sick.
Welcome back, Tarnagius. Well from what I hear, it's perfectly acceptable to wear one of those sick masks in public, so that's always a plus. Hope you feel better soon. Same goes to Pylos.
Bazzle is being heavily influenced by the fact my wife had me binge watch Sneaky Pete.
Sorry, I know nothing about Sneaky Pete. I didn't even know it existed.
Its an Amazon exclusive show. Its about a ex-con who is in hidding but owes money to a mob boss. Kinda like Oceans 11 but much more street level.

So, it seems that Myth-Weavers lost any character sheet data saved after July last year. I'm having to go through all of my character sheets, and there are a few, and fix any problems I come across. I'm not sure how long this will take, so feel free to DMPC me in the mean time. I'm sorry about this T_T
Glad to see you're back and up to date
Hey just wanted to let you know that I am sick. I'll try to get something written for you guys, but no promises. (Though, those promises would normally end up a day or two late, anyways)
Get well soon.
Yep. That is correct. But at the moment I'm heading off to bed now. Have to open at work tomorrow.

SCRAMBLE THE FAIRIES!!
Lol! Good Fairy Oddparnets reference. I've been pretty busy with work but I'll try and see if I can get a post up.
Hey guys, just touching base here. How're you feeling regarding the present situation in the game? From my perspective, I feel like I've opened it up at the moment into a quasi-downtime situation, and I'm a bit concerned that I might not be providing enough direction. What do you think?
It's easy for me to just declare 'do whatever you want', then sit back and wait, but in my time as a DM I've found that some players will feel a bit lost.
Well, Kethaera seems to have hit on some useful info, but Rexandi has no way of knowing it, so I'm waiting to see if Kethaera opens up some surprising dialog!
I was trying to do the more circuitous route of roleplaying questions that would seem natural but help to illuminate the situation vis-a-vis the gang, and I feel like I got some good bits in. :)
It feels like down time and the next step both. Bazzle's not aware of all the insight we have on the Tengu but I think he is the key to working with them if that is the goal. Fughting them and taking over their home is easy as plans go.

Yeah thieves cant is an artefact of previous additions. I think it has changed like this From the PFSRD:
Bluff
Common Uses
Convey Secret Message
You can use Bluff to pass hidden messages to another character without others understanding your true meaning. The DC of this check is 15 for simple messages and 20 for complex messages. If you are successful, the target automatically understands you, assuming you are speaking in a language that it understands. If your check fails by 5 or more, you deliver the wrong message. Other creatures that hear the message can decipher the message by succeeding at an opposed Sense Motive check against your Bluff result.
Action: Delivering a secret message generally takes twice as long as the message would otherwise take to relay.
Retry? Yes. Secret messages can be relayed again if the first attempt fails.
Suggest Course of Action
Source: Giant Hunter’s Handbook
You can use Bluff and Diplomacy together to make a request of a creature, without it even realizing you have made the request.
Check: You can gradually coax a target into thinking a suggestion is entirely its own idea, making the creature more likely to act on the idea than if you had suggested it outright. You discuss topics subtly relevant to the request, asking leading questions and narrowing the scope of the conversation so that the target eventually decides to take a specific action you have led it to.
You first attempt a Bluff check to convince the target that your request was actually its idea. This is always treated as far-fetched circumstances, resulting in a –10 penalty on the check. If successful, you then attempt a Diplomacy check to make the request of the creature, treating its attitude toward you as indifferent for this single request (regardless of its actual attitude).
Action: Planting the notion and then coaxing a target into suggesting the notion himself each require at least 1 minute of continuous interaction. This can be difficult to arrange with a hostile or unfriendly creature.
I'm still here y'all. Been busy with work and finishing up my taxes. Should be back to normal posting this Monday.
Pylos? You still here?
Still present.
Present
Present here as well.
I think the reason things went silent is due to tax time and Easter.
Hi guys. I'm really suffering from my mental health right now. I'm failing all of my commitments including dnd. I'm trying to get better. I'm going to post in increments to get back into the swing. I'm very sorry for everything.
Thank you for stopping in. I hope that things turn around and you have some positivity soon. Please take good care of yourself. :)
Game aside hope you start feeling better. Take what time you need. I'm happy to go back at it once you have the free space for it.
Praying for you.
Hope everything turns out okay for you gm! You're in my thoughts and prayers!
I will be camping this weekend and may not have internet. Bot if needed!
Oh hey. You're GMing my Jade Regent game. I didn't look before.
The slow one, yeah :D
Lol
So when I first read the name Hocom I literally almost commented about trusting clues from a man named Hocum. And said huckster ran a side show of fakes. Awesome.
Hey fox, you doing ok?
Hey Tarn, I'm pretty rough, but slowly chugging away. The dice have not been kind to me in the last month. I'm in desperate need of counselling (previous counsellor didn't work out), and I probably need more/better meds. I am safe though, and I have a strong support group of friends who help.
Rest assured though that I do think of you guys, and I want to strive towards posting at a regular rate again. Today I have time on my hands, and I want to dedicate that towards updating my forum games. I'm honestly very anxious after seeing some of them say (20 new messages). Thanks for checking in with me, and I'll have a post up today.
Thanks for the update Fox. I hope you have clear skies ahead. :)
Had no idea things were that chaotic for you. I will be praying things get better for you. Please take care of you before you worry about us.
Thank you both. Sorry for saying I'd have a post yesterday, and then not posting. I did get one up today though!
It's cool. Take your time. If you need to take a break go ahead. We can wait.
Hey y'all! I'm just letting everyone know this but something is up with my laptop's wifi so I can't get online as much until I can fix it. Might take me awhile. So please go ahead and bot me. Sorry about all of this!
Alright everyone. I got my wifi issues taken care of.
Can someone give me a quick update on what has happened, and I'll try and get a post up ASAP!
Thank you for y'all's patience!
We killed off two skeleton apes who hit like trucks. Rexus and Vendalfek are having a hard time in combat. There's a ton to explore in the area but there isn't a clear destination. Multiple uses of your CMW wand have been used (3 I think?). Also I've been really bad at updating the game.
Oh gods, I forgot we weren't exploring the whole building. I would have suggested we move to a different room ages ago.
lol
No worries, Tarnagius!
Sorry y'all I've been absent (again! Man, I'm getting tired of this!), but I got swamped at work, plus on top of yardwork, my dad's asthma acting up (really badly I'm afraid), and looking for another job, I've been very very busy! I apologize for being absent and not giving a heads up. I hope y'all can forgive me.
Bazzle (and Kethaera) time. Giving one more day
Welcome back Kethaera, it's good to see you
Again, sorry for the absence again. Work has been a pain for me lately, and I've already had to bow out of one campaign already. I don't like doing that but I have a lot on my plate, and I really wish I didn't but I had to.
I'm going to try and stay in this campaign as long as I can. I apologize for being a pain in the butt with my sporadic postings, but again I've been very busy. I hope to be able to post a bit more this week as I mainly work mornings, but I it depends.
I just wanted to give y'all a heads up on my situation. If you need to please bot me.
Hey guys heads up I live in Ft. Lauderdale FL so this weekend I am dealing with Irma. Posting may slow down for me. Bot me as needed.
Wow. Good luck with that. Stay safe!
We aren't in the evac zones. We have the supplies. So the truly important stuff I'm not worried. But days without power can be no fun. I had to spend some time on the roof slathering some tar on some I'm hoping for no leaks.
